“If I can get my kids on board, connecting with me before I even meet them. I’ve hit the jackpot,” he says.

This is Reed's first classroom, and he is focusing on hard work, and positivity.

“People love you. There’s people who value you. There’s people who affirm you and think you’re worth something,” Reed said. “And I want them to know that for eight hours a day, I’m that person. I’m that person that you mean something to.”

The video already has more than 189,000 views. Check it out below!
